Days after almost a fourth of the Beirut port grain silos collapsed on the second anniversary of the Beirut Port blast, the remaining ruins of the smouldering structure's northern block collapsed on Tuesday morning.
The silos' southern block still stands next to the charred ruins.
A large cloud of dust and debris could be seen rising from the site of the collapse. Fire could also be seen emerging from inside the silos after the mishap.
In July, a fire broke out in the northern block of the silos due to the fermenting grains.
Firefighters and Lebanese Army soldiers were unable to put it out and it smouldered for over a month.

The structure rapidly deteriorated ever since.
In late July, part of the northern block collapsed for the first time.
Days later, on the second anniversary of the Beirut Port blast, roughly a fourth of the structure collapsed.
